We're The Little Green Apple; A place for lawn and garden enthusiasts to find answers.

As fundamental as mowing your lawn seems to be; this routine task, if done with a greater understanding of the science behind the scenes, can be the most vital way you can keep your turf healthy and fairway friendly.

If you're looking for some layouts, designs or planting suggestions you might find a few ideas on this page. This is a new to the Apple and as we tighten up the graphics we'll be adding more hardiness zones...time and weather permitting. If it's nice, we're outside, of course.

Good grass height also promotes deeper and stronger roots. The blade is proportional to the root. And it also helps to keep the sun from drying and damaging and compacting soil. Moist soil helps roots to breathe and clippings to decompose which produces nitrogen. About half of what your lawn needs in nutrition come from clippings. So, quit bagging it, start mulching it and you'll have a healthier lawn. Height is the key.
